Depicting a seated mother cradling an infant at her breast, the work served ceremonial functions within fertility rituals central to Bambara cultural practice. The sculpture's patina—marked by age cracks, surface erosion, and minor losses—testifies to its considerable antiquity, estimated at over fifty years.
